let's hope the braves are first pitch swinging tonight so wheeler's pitch count could remain low...he should clearly challenge each hitter not named freeman...mets need to work the counts against Santana since he will be on a pitch count tonight...hopefully they get into that bullpen by the 6th inning...I like this matchup for the mets, but as usual the bullpen terrifies me

@nwmets The article should be "things to watch for," or "plotlines," such as will the scoreless streak continue, will David break out of his slump, etc., will Wheeler continue his dominance of the Braves, given that he is from Georgia?

Nobody wants to hear us smartly talking about the Mets. We want to know what we should be looking for.

@thjopr6986 I don't know why there was any thought otherwise. If Lagares can even be league average - slightly below league average offensively... He'd be starting on most teams. If he's capable of more than league average... he's a perennial all-star. Simple fact is, it should never have even been a discussion. Especially on a team that depends on its pitching. (AKA needs strong defense behind it.)

@BringBackDaveTelghe @DMMP There has been every indication that he has the drive and work ethic (and potential) to do at least that. And so far this season has shown just that. Again, I will say it now... And if I'm wrong I'll be the first to admit it. But I was saying it all offseason. I think Lagares is going to surprise a LOT of people with his bat in the long run.
